Three-year-olds have won this three times in the last four years and the younger generation are well represented again. Whispering Soul won a Hamilton seller two runs ago but was then well beaten at Catterick. Ripon second Hashtag Frenzy has claims but Bob Cowell dropped EDITH WESTON back to 5f at Yarmouth last time and was rewarded with a better effort. Eased in the weights again since, she could be the value. Catterick runner-up Zebelini and Captain Devious looks the pick of the older runners.
